Overview

Ranbaxy Lovir 800mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Aciclovir 800mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Ranbaxy Lovir 800mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Ranbaxy Lovir 800mg Tablet with a full glass of water, with or without food, at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night as instructed by your doctor to maintain steady drug levels. Start treatment as soon as possible after the first signs of an outbreak (such as tingling, pain, or blisters) for the best effect, and complete the full course even if your skin lesions heal before you finish the medicine.

Dosage

The dose and frequency of Ranbaxy Lovir 800mg Tablet depend on the condition being treated – for example, herpes zoster is usually treated with a higher frequency regimen over 7-10 days, while genital herpes or cold sore episodes may use a different schedule for a shorter course. Your doctor will individualise the dose, frequency, and duration based on your diagnosis, kidney function, and whether this is a first episode or a recurrence.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
